Hi all-
New to the board, here... I realize there are about a million posts for amp suggestions here, but I see some experiences users present and I'd value input from anybody/everybody, please!
I've got a pair of Eclipse SW9102's I'm presently driving with a pair of Infinity Beta Digital 300's but I've nearly killed one of the Beta Digitals, and am now forced to upgrade.
The Eclipses are Dual Voice Coil, 4ohm+4ohm each, rated at 750 RMS / 1500 Peak each.
I'm open to 2-ch amps, Mono amps, single amps, a pair of amps, you name it.
Price isn't a real constraint, I'm open to higher-end stuff, and would consider it. Also, I'd like to use an amp or amps that'd be running well below capacity- I don't want to push my amps' capabilities anymore, I want to push the speakers'. If I put together a setup that'd equate to 1000 Watts RMS each speaker, it wouldn't bother me- I'd almost prefer it.
the12volt.com suggests either "Option 1, parallel/parallel = 1 Ohm load" or "Option 2, series/parallel = 4 ohm load", but I don't know what kind of wattage I'd need to look for in a 1 Ohm mono amp for Option 1, or a 4/2/1 Ohm mono amp for Option 2.
Suggestions all around would be greatly appreciated, and THANKS! in advance...

Eclipse DA7232, MTX81001 come to immediate mind.

ALSO! I'd be interested in amps higher than Class D, especially if they could make a difference, quality OR heat-wise.  (I'm thinking like AB, or T, here...)

A "D" class amp is going to be your best bet here. From my info in front of me, there is no ICEpower class D amp other than the Eclipse DA7232 that would work for you. This amp is amazing and will not dissappoint you at all.

Dave nods his head in agreeance... Being a proud owner of that same amp, I can tell you from experience, there is precious little out there that will offer the bang for the buck that this monster does!
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

No, that is a good amp, just far from the right one for the job.

Sure it would.....if he wants to use one amp per sub..... that is why I suggest the DA7232, one amp to do the whole works that easily makes 1000w rms into 2 ohms per channel.
